The bill mandates the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to provide a quarterly report to the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means and the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Use and Recovery regarding expenditures from the Substance Use Disorder Federal Reinvestment Trust Fund (SUD Trust Fund). This report will detail how funds are allocated to support various components of the Behavioral Health Roadmap, including reducing stigma, expanding access to treatment, and supporting evidence-based recovery services. The report will also include a breakdown of the progress and status of these components, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of funds.
Additionally, the bill outlines specific components of the Behavioral Health Roadmap that are supported by the SUD Trust Fund, such as Community Behavioral Health Centers (CBHCs) and Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) providers. It highlights the services offered by these centers, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), peer recovery supports, and crisis stabilization services. The report will also provide financial data on expenditures related to these components, reflecting the ongoing efforts to enhance mental health and substance use disorder services across the Commonwealth.
